A TEXAN BANGER'S BE8I SHOT. Wilson and Cameron stood apart from their compan ions. With folded arms and thoughtful faces, they watched tho shadow of night stealing over lake and cuapparal. 'An hour like this casts a spell upon my spirit,' said Cameron. ' I love to see tho glare of day fade and give place to the dim, placid twilight. ' I have similar feelings,' replied Wilson, 1 but I like night best when more advanced towards tno small hours, and the moon and stars are brightly beaming ' Cameron made no reply, and tho parties remained silent.

Tho Indiana were then troublesome, and frequently com mitted their depredations on the frontier settlements; but I was fond of hunting and cared litllo for them, itnng to trust to my own courage and ingenuity in any emergency that might occur. I carried (his Bame rille, and wns called ono of the best shuts in the country. Many people said tho piece was too Heavy lor com mon use; but I waa accustomed to it; and it did n't feel burdensome to me 1 and when I fired it waa sure to do the right thing, for what animal could carry oil' an ounce and a halt uf lead, skillfully sped on its errand T Having discovered Indian signs one day, I thought it best to change my hunting ground ; and so put a considerable distance between me and the spot, and enenmped on a wide prairie, bounded on the east by iho ' Cross Timbers.' Not long alter this event, I was silting on tho bank of a small stream, resting my weary limbs after a long nnd latiguing hunt when I was fired upon nnd slightly wounded. 1 was lortuuate enough to discover the marksman, who provod to bo an Indiau, of what tribe I do not now remember. I instantly shot him dead, and then perceived that ho was not ulono; for one ot his brethren was with him, who made good his escape. Timo passsed on, and I was undisturbed in my amusements for a long timo. One day, not leeiing very well, l remrned to my camp sooner than usual. I laid down to sleep, but could not, I felt uneasy nnd nervous, and so arose and went on the prairie l lie grass was now very tall, aud the hot suns of the season had dried it until it was crispy, and rattled ns I waked through it. I ascended u gentle swell and looked around me. Thosceno was a grand one. On one hand were iho "Cross Timbers " dimly seen in the distance, resembling a dense wall of wood built by human hands; while in every other direction the prairie stretched away until tost in the dii-tanco Thn sun was getting low, and looked like a sunset on the sea. As my eyes wandered from point lo point, they wero suddenly fixed upon a solitary figure several hundred yards distant, at the foot of ihe long swell or roll upou vthich I was standing. lie stood in an open space, and I at hrst wondered how that could be, as the grass was so high in every other place; but tho flair booh explained itself. More careful examination showed mo that the solitary object was an Indian, and his obiect in packing up the dry grass wns evident; he wns going to tiro the prairie! It was doubtless the same fellow that hnd escaped at the lime I had been fired on. He had discovered my retreat and was nbout to rovengo himself in a riagular manner. The wind was blowing fresh towards me, and if the grass had been set on fire, uo power on earth could have saved me, for the fleetest horse coald not run fast nough to excape its devouring flames. A terrible dread of ihat kind of death came over me, I stood like one fascinated, nud gazed at the preparations of the savage. Ho stood in the middle of tne open space be had made, with a blazing torch in his hand. Innu merable thought rushed through my mind in an instant of time. I was never so completely paralyzed and stupified before in my life. The power of thought seemed to bo the only power left me, and that was stimulated to nu unnatural degree. The past, present and future were reviewed and speculated upon in that bnct and broken fragment ol bine in which tlie tav- ngo stood waiting lor the brnnd tu burn more brightly belore no thrust it into ine grass. Yes. my destiny was to bo burned ! Home nunter or traveler would find my body charred or blackened; und others, alter a time, would puss my hones bleaching in Ihe sun. I shuddered ; my eyes felt tint t my throat dry, and I imagined that I felt ihe flames creeping oyer ma. If had been a danger tltnt 1 emild have battled with or if I could havo seen any chance fir escape depend- ng upon my own exertions, it would have bcondii-erent: but now all I could do was to stand and stare tho most dreadful of all deaths in the face. You must remember that alt these ideas and rcflac tions run through my mind in the shortest appreciable Bpaco or time; lor you must know that the sudden prospects ot great danger, trom winch there is uo np parent mode of escape, impart to tho brain a horrible faculty of thought of which the mind at ease cnu form no possible conception. ' I closed my eyes in prayer, nnd commended my soul to God; hut it was impossible for me to close my eyes ngninat the one groat aud absorbing idea in my mind that of being burnt up like n vile reptile that crawls in the weeds. Mv lips unclosed and as they did so, my eyes rested upon my trusty rifle; it was the first time Iliad ihmight id it, lor the distance was great between me and the enemy ; but now it looked like nn old friend, the only ono that had the power to save me. ' I embraced llie thought that the sight of my rifle called up a species of joy which is nearly overpowered by an antagonizing feeling. Ono chance still remained a small chance it was true, but still a chance; and despair cannot paralyze and subdue tho heart, white even ono taint hopo re mains. I luted the instrument upon whicu hung my destiny. As toy glance ran over the intervening dis tance, 1 toll bow desperate inuoea was my prospect oi life, for an hundred good marksmen might try their skill in vain in aiming nt an object so far off. Then 1 1 remembered Ihat my weapon was of uncommon calibre nnd weight, and would throw a ball further than I any I had ever seen. I recollected also that I had loaded tt that very day witn uncommon care, and lor long snot. ' The Indian moved the torch, and was about to np-1 ply it to the combuslibte material ; there was no time to lose, llie rule came lo my shoulder quick and hrm, and I braced up my nerves for a steady aim with a strnttg ctfort of the will. I looked through tho ' double sights,' and the muzzle covered ins itidians bead. My heart seemed to stop heating, held in tho grasp of that terriblo suspense. It was but an instant then tho rifle sent an ounco and a half of lead on its mission, with a crack that was unusually loud and sharp, aud a recoil which threw me back a few paces. Tho smoke curled away, but I dared not look. I passed my hand slowly across my forehead, tor my brain was throbbing painfully. Every moment I expected to be greeted by a dense smoke from the burning prairie, and to hear Ihe hissing of Ihe burning flame; but nothing of the kind occurred, and X ven tured to look towards the spot where the savage had stood wilh his torch ; 1 took courage, reloaded my riite, ami nasiity wanted Towards mo place. ' I reached it the Indian lay upon his back the brand, half extinguished, beside him ; an ounce and a half of lead had passed through his head. I sank own overpowered wim gratitude, and tbo various emotions which such an incident was calculated to inspire. This was tho greatest shot I evor made, and probably shall never equal it again.

Tkxas, December, 1C52, Gkntlf.men : A little island of wood, in a rolling sea of prairie, which extends as far as the eye can reach, is our post. It is six hundred miles from civilization, and surrounded by swarms of Indians, who are hostile when they darn, treacherous always, beggars, j when they caunot steal, thievoswlien tuey cannot beg. In such circumstances, and wilh a force of less than five hundred men, the discipline at our post is pretty strict as strict as it would be in tune of war. Thu quar ters are arranged in the form of a parallellogram, one hundred and twenty-five yards by eighty. In the centre is parade ground, upon which the trees have been left standing, and on one side are five gardens, uf live acres each, where we raise our cabbage. The houses are made of poles and mud, und roofed with sod, as I mentioned in a former letter. All uf them are kept well whitewashed; so 1 lint from a distance our post shows picturesquely enough nmong tho green trues, with the star splangled banner Haunting gayly above it, from its tall staff. Close at hand our post would have a sorry aspect to most of thn readers uf the Home Journal; but lo us it is homo aud safety, in the midst of a wilderness. Our post is not defended by wall or ditch, but by a line of sentinels only, who lake their places with tho certain knowledge, Ihat negligence nn their part would be death to them, nud peril to us. I will describe to you the daily routine The first man whom duty summons from his "bunk" in tho morning, is ihe drum-major, who, nt a quarter to five, calls up our six drummers nnd six filers. At five, these twelve artists strike up tho hideous reveille, and keep it up for fifteen minutes; when all the men are required to be drawn up in companies, each com. pany before its own quarters. The roll is rapidly call ed, absentees aro reported, and then tho men are dis missed. 1 ill seven they nro employed in polishing their accoutrements, nnd preparing their tools f.ir the day's work. In the meantime, howovor, there are two drums, one for tno sick in go to tlie hospital, and tho other for tho police party to make a tour of the post, to sweep up and remove all cll- nsive accumulations. Two or threo men from each company are cooking the breakfast. At seven a welcome roll nf the drum salutes the hungry soldiers, who " fall iu " with aiscmy. tlie roil is again called, and each man, on the sergeant calls his name, goes to tho cook and re ceives a pound nnd a quarter of salt pork, a pound and a quarter of sea-biscuit, and a can of coffee. He (hen retires and consumes these viands where and how ho chooses. Thesamedrum summons the o flic era tutheir morning meal, because they are obliged to he in readiness, soon after, to accompany tho men to their several places ol labor. I he bachelors devour in concert, but the married officer breakfasts with his family. Officers and men fire about alike, unless they have been lucky enough to shoot a few birds or other serviceable game. Breakfast over, guard mounting, which is the prin cipal military event ot irio day, occurs. 1 he old guard, wnicn nas neen on duty tor twenty four hours, is " ro lieved," and is exempt from labor till the next dav. The indefatigable drum then summons all the rest of iho garrison to the parado ground, in workimr dress and partieafnftwelvoor fourteen men enchxommanded by an officer,) nro detailed f ir labor. To ono party is assigned the duty of chopping wood ; another goes to mo gardens; auoiner is required to cut poles lor now houses; another issettn repairing or building; another to cutting sods irom llio praino; another to carrying water irom iue spring. Occasionally, a hunting party is formed, and lesafriqueuily, a party for reconnoitring. Sometimes they are obliged to go several miles from tho post, in search of wood or game ; but whether tuey go ten yards or ten miles, every man Is armed, and has his loaded musket at all times within a few paces, Wlnlo the men are at work, the o Hi cor amuses himself with his riflu or a book. Every one carries his dinner wilh him, and the " out-parties" do not re turn to their pust tdl four o'clock, when tho work nf the dny is done; the "in parties." however, work till five. The dinner hour for those who retnnin at the post is ouo, when all are allowed an hour to regale themselves upon salt pork, bean sounand hard btsc which they consume with a gusto that nn alderman might envy. At sundown tho drum beats ihe "retreat." Tho men merely "fall in," without arms, Htten to iho cnll ing of the roll, nnd then take their supper of pork uml biscuit, man by man, as at breikfni. After supper, Bport is usually tho order of the day. The men run races, play ball, pitch quol s, rend, write letters, chat with the Indians, (who aro always loitering about), and do whatever else they may fancy, so that it is nm contrary to tho rules of the p ist, aud the regulations ot the service. The officers visit one another's quarters pay their respects to tho ladies, or indulge in some kind of active game. At half past nine ihe tattoo sounds; tho men ouco morn " fall in," the mil is again cnllrd, and then to bed. At ten o'clock, ihreo taps nf mo mucti beiten dram is the signal ihat nti lights must bo extinguished, nud every man in his berili. Then silence and darkness reign at our post, except when the vnlce nf the sentinel is henrd to proclaim that it is half-past semethimg o'clock, and nil's well. On Sundays, of course, the routine is d fferetit. Then the men aresoMlers ngain. and work is forgotten, After breakfast thero is a lull dress parade, at which every man is inspected, and iho regiment is, in all points, as brilliant in appearance ns it used to be nu Governor'slslniid in New York harbor Divineservico Is performed at half past ten, nfier which there is no more duty till oven ing parade. Such, Mensm. Kditors, is our liieat flits remote place. It would be a most tedious existenoo, if all wero not kept uctively employed from one week's end to tho other. As it is, we i sometimes have tho heartache, and such n lonuirtir for home and friends as cannot be expressed. Thrown 'upon our own resources, we study in every way to be tolon the best terms with each other, and to share wilh I ... . - .

There are thousands of persons, many of them women and chil dren, daily landing at the wharf, who cannot either for love or money got, places wherein to lay their heads. Imngine a gloomy day (of which there are many at the present season), tho rain descending in torrents, and tho unpaved streets a morass; the river steamers running up nud down tho Yarra between the town and Hobson's Bay (where the shipping are anchored), all day long, to convey at ench trip hundreds of newly arrived emigrants. The passengers aro landed, bag and baggage, on the wharf, among hundreds of their fellow sufferers, nnd are left ruthlessly to their fate. The men of the different parlies disperse about tbo town in quest of lodgings; the women sent thomaelves upon their piled up baggage, gathering their wondering children around them, and await the husband's or brother's return with hope and confidence. Husbands, lauiers aim Drotners do return, but alter long absence, with wearied feet. Hushed faces, and sinking hearts. Thoy havo made a tour of the town, and there is no lodging lo be had they aro absolutely houseless. Besides this, etory articlo of consumption is enormously dear store-room for luggage (if found at all), is ruinous. Agaiu men start wildly on the some errand, and ngain return unsuccessful. I have seen tears rolling down more than ono manly fellow's face, as he has stood contemplating his wife and children reduced to such hard necessities; and it is painful to witness the stunned look of despair, or the agony of grief and tears with which the English women receive ihe cruel intelligence, ami clasp with streaming eyes their homo-less little ones to their heart. Tho feverish bustle and excitement at the wharf are increased by a novel kind of sale or mnrket, which is incessantly being hold, end which, in itself, is also a disagreeable aud ominous 'sign of the times.' The wares ihus sold in the open air consist of the household furniture, the little lots of goods brought out as speculations, nr often the personal 'kit' only of many of Iheso people, who, unable to find storago for their things, except ut a rent which would in a few days or weeks swallow up their wholo intrinsic value, are compelled to sacrifice their property for auything that it will fetch. In short, there is a disagreeable effect about this first landing a kind of daruper thrown upon tho hopes nud proBpecis a change in the bright ideaB originally formed a demolition of tho visionary castles built since leaving Europe, which (or I am much mistaken in tho expression of the human countenance) very few fail to fuel on touching the shore." INFANTS' BIGHTS. We, tho ir-diters members of the Infant Society, being fully determined nu onrown account, and in behalf ol tho rising generation, cry aloud for reform in the system of management to which we are subjected, both parental aud professional, which is often un civil and un-tnodical. Therefore, in consideration of the fact ihat we are forcibly brought into this existence without being consoled even in regard to our feelings, tastes or wishes, do wo set forth, herein, what we claim to be our 'rights,' nnd resolve, that unless they shall be granted to us, it will hereafter be useless to cry peace, pence, for there shall bo no peace. First. We claim the right to draw from that fountain which Nature has provided for our sustennnce, and which is conceded to bo the only source from which we can derive the materials for a vigorous growth. The too common practice of cutting off our supplies from this sourco to avoid the neccessity of attendance on our wants, wo regard as unworthy a Uhristtau mother, nnd inhuman. Second. We earnestly protest against the partiality exhibited by our mothers in nursing tap dogs, and making parlor companions of them, and taking them out riding nu pleasant days, while we are turned over to be nursed by Bridget, and kept week after week con- lined to the bouse, without even an airing. Third. We claim as our right a place in ihe paren tal bed, and deem it a very poor excuse for tuck ing us away with the muse, that our mother comes home from parties und the opera late at night, which would be likely to disturb us if we occupied her room. Fourth. We are opposed to medicine, which would seldom bo required if we wero properly nursed by our motners, ana otherwise cared 1 r, and we have no dis- , position to take it as a substitute, and especially do wo raise our voices against the practice of many mines, who secretty keep a bottle of paregoric, or Godfrey'! cordial, and force down our throats a dose in the eve ning, so tint we cannot disturb them in the night. Fifth. Wo appeal most feelingly against Ihe prac tice, often for fashion's sake, of dipping ua into cold water every morning, ana sometimes morning and night. It gives an unnecessary shock to our sensibilities, which may bo avoided by substituting tho tepid ipnnge, wiucu we ore wining to submit to, so tar as clenuunefs requires. Sixth. While we aro often deprived of our natural nourishment, wo nre over fed with unwholesome food tiy way of compensation. With Ihis practice wo become disgusted, nnd throw up, whirh ihe nursn Fee ma toconsidt-r an indication for something more to fill the vacant space, and thus we aro stuffed from day to day, which excites not only our siomacbs but our tempers, and we get ihe credit of being very 'spunky.' These, and many other abuses to which we are sub- jecto i, deprive us of iho ability to crow in henllh aud strength, as unbne intended we should; and, consequently, about half of us get sickly and die before we aro out enough to tnke cure ot ourselves, believing that of all rights, the rights of infants are first in importance, wo appeal to universal manhood for reform in ihis matter, by establishing fur ns a better system of maternal government ; and that we may he elevated to a proper position in the social scalo, and no longer be deemed unwelcome burthens to bo ashamed of. Esnlapian. A Bit or Romance. About six years n go, a Dr II, having become involved in debt, left his home and wife in another State for Texas, for the purpose of improving hi fortunes in a place where he would bo free from iho demands ol clamorous creditors. In tho course of time ho went with ihe army to Mexico, and finally wended his way to California, After residing i here same time, ho met a young man from the place of his furmer residence, whom, however, he did not know, and inquired of him if he knew his wife, whom be described, without, however, telling him the relation he bore to her. The young man replied that Mrs. H was his sister, and tho last he heard of her she was in St. Louis, After accumulating a competence, Dr. H ... left for St. Louis, for tbo purpose id seeking his wife, who had long since given him up as dead. In St. Louis he learned that she had left that place some time previously, and was believed to be in New Albany. He came hither, nnd upon inquiry Irarned that alio also believed her brother to be dead, not having heard from him for many years. Dr. H went to iho house where he understood his wife wns living, but found that she had left there a few days before. He impiired about her general conduct aud domeanor, and found that it had alwaya been unexceptionable. She spoke but little of her hua-hand, but told everyone that she considered him dead. Tho lady of whom Dr. H was making inquiries, discovered that he was the long lost husband, and ottered to accompany him to ihe house where his wifo wns sewing. Upou arriving there, she said to her ''Mrs. 1 1 - .hero is a gentleman who saw your brother In California." She appeared astonished looked at the visitor, but apparently did not recognize him. He brushed back his hair, and said quickly, " F.lizn, don't you know me f " Mrs. H immediately swooned nwny, and fell nn the floor. In the B-ime moment a husband and brother supposed to be dead were restored to her. Dr. H , as we havo said, hns returned wilh a competence, nnd the supposed widow, it is presumed, will no longer sow for a livelihood. The nbove statement, we are assured, is strictly correct. Here ia a scene in ro il life eipial in strangeness to nny to which romance ever gave birth. New Albany (la ) Letlgcr. Imitation or a Cow. Mr. James Boswell, the friend and biographer of Dr. Johnson, when a youth, went lo Ihn pit of Covetil Garden Theatre, in company with Dr. Bl ur, and in n frolic, imitated the lowing nl a enw, nnd the universal cry iu ihn galleries wns, "En-core tho cow! encoie iho cow!" This was complied with ; and in the pride nf success. Mr, Boawell attempted to imitate aonio other niiimals.hut with less success.

Mr. Means said if tho resolutions were offered with nut a preamble, he should not have spoken again n l them. But. umh r tho circumstances, he should oppose their pissago. Tho preamble asserted n falseiiood. The attack wns not unqualified. The facts showed that the attack was preceded by n wanton nnd outra geous insult.

I have been startled by seeing the rigid fenttiresol some old lady or gentleman, dressed in their best attire, and apparently reclining before ihe widow. It used to appear nn unueccessary mockery of death, dressing a corpse in a now suit of clothes, with tight patent leather boots and white neck cloth. 1 remember one night in particular, I was returning homo through one of the by streets, when tcoing tho lower windows of a hon.se illuminated, and concluding thero was a body lying in state, I wimt towards it. There close to tho window, so close t'.int I could have touched it through tho bars, lay tho body of a young girl about fifteen years of age. She wns dressed as for a ball, wilh flowers in her hair, and whito satin shoes on her feet ; her hands wore crossed on her breast, her eyes closed, and her mouth slightly opened, and altogether her face and expression wns one of the most beautiful 1 have ever soeu Flwknct and ExratssioM. No fallacy Is greater than that whirb conloouds fluency witn expression. Washerwomen, and boys at debating clubs, often dis play more fluency than Webster ; but his words aro to thoirs, aaitieroii ol inunuoriouio potior oi rain. Lan guage nlten receives lis significance and power irom the person who uses it. Unless permeated by tho lusher faculties of the mind, unless it he, not the clothing, but thn 'Mncnrnation ol thought," it is quite an hum1 hie nower. There are soum writers who repose nn nun inir commence in wonis. n uitnr iiimui uo in- h d with the epithets of poetry, they fondly deem that I hey havo clutched its essence. In a piece of inferior verse, wo often observe a great array of expressions which havo been employed witu greaieneci oy genius, but which seem to burn the fingers and disconcert tha equanimity of Iho aspiring word-catcher, who presses them into his service. Felicity, not fluency of lan guage, is a merit. Thero la sucti a tiling, likewise, ns making a style the expression ot the nature ol the writer who ust-s it. Thn rhetorical arrangemeut of John son is often pedanlic, but it does not appear so bad in his wiitings as in uie monstrous masses ot vermage beneath which the thin frames of his imitators ure crush ed. The style of Carlylo is faulty, when judged by tho general ruins of taste; but we should not desiro ihat iho rough gnllop of his sentences should be changed for tho graceful ambling of Addison's, without n corresponding ennngo in ins psyonoiogicai condi tion. t,, r, Whipple.

A TEXAN BANGER'S BE8I SHOT. Wilson and Cameron stood apart from their compan ions. With folded arms and thoughtful faces, they watched tho shadow of night stealing over lake and cuapparal. 'An hour like this casts a spell upon my spirit,' said Cameron. ' I love to see tho glare of day fade and give place to the dim, placid twilight. ' I have similar feelings,' replied Wilson, 1 but I like night best when more advanced towards tno small hours, and the moon and stars are brightly beaming ' Cameron made no reply, and tho parties remained silent. Wilson waa the first to speak. 1 That's a heavy rifle of your 'a ' he said glancing nt the weapon upon which Cameron was leaning. '1 dare say it has been of service to you in its timo 1 ' no money could induce mo to pirt with it, because I havo proved its metal on many occasions. Did I ever tell you of nn adventure that I had once near the Ked Bivor T ' ' You never did ; T should like to hear it said Wilaon. 1 Several year ogo,' resumed Cameron, T waa hunt ing near Cross Timbers, not far from Red River. Tho Indiana were then troublesome, and frequently com mitted their depredations on the frontier settlements; but I was fond of hunting and cared litllo for them, itnng to trust to my own courage and ingenuity in any emergency that might occur. I carried (his Bame rille, and wns called ono of the best shuts in the country. Many people said tho piece was too Heavy lor com mon use; but I waa accustomed to it; and it did n't feel burdensome to me 1 and when I fired it waa sure to do the right thing, for what animal could carry oil' an ounce and a halt uf lead, skillfully sped on its errand T Having discovered Indian signs one day, I thought it best to change my hunting ground ; and so put a considerable distance between me and the spot, and enenmped on a wide prairie, bounded on the east by iho ' Cross Timbers.' Not long alter this event, I was silting on tho bank of a small stream, resting my weary limbs after a long nnd latiguing hunt when I was fired upon nnd slightly wounded. 1 was lortuuate enough to discover the marksman, who provod to bo an Indiau, of what tribe I do not now remember. I instantly shot him dead, and then perceived that ho was not ulono; for one ot his brethren was with him, who made good his escape. Timo passsed on, and I was undisturbed in my amusements for a long timo. One day, not leeiing very well, l remrned to my camp sooner than usual. I laid down to sleep, but could not, I felt uneasy nnd nervous, and so arose and went on the prairie l lie grass was now very tall, aud the hot suns of the season had dried it until it was crispy, and rattled ns I waked through it. I ascended u gentle swell and looked around me. Thosceno was a grand one. On one hand were iho "Cross Timbers " dimly seen in the distance, resembling a dense wall of wood built by human hands; while in every other direction the prairie stretched away until tost in the dii-tanco Thn sun was getting low, and looked like a sunset on the sea. As my eyes wandered from point lo point, they wero suddenly fixed upon a solitary figure several hundred yards distant, at the foot of ihe long swell or roll upou vthich I was standing. lie stood in an open space, and I at hrst wondered how that could be, as the grass was so high in every other place; but tho flair booh explained itself. More careful examination showed mo that the solitary object was an Indian, and his obiect in packing up the dry grass wns evident; he wns going to tiro the prairie! It was doubtless the same fellow that hnd escaped at the lime I had been fired on. He had discovered my retreat and was nbout to rovengo himself in a riagular manner. The wind was blowing fresh towards me, and if the grass had been set on fire, uo power on earth could have saved me, for the fleetest horse coald not run fast nough to excape its devouring flames. A terrible dread of ihat kind of death came over me, I stood like one fascinated, nud gazed at the preparations of the savage. Ho stood in the middle of tne open space be had made, with a blazing torch in his hand. Innu merable thought rushed through my mind in an instant of time. I was never so completely paralyzed and stupified before in my life. The power of thought seemed to bo the only power left me, and that was stimulated to nu unnatural degree. The past, present and future were reviewed and speculated upon in that bnct and broken fragment ol bine in which tlie tav- ngo stood waiting lor the brnnd tu burn more brightly belore no thrust it into ine grass. Yes. my destiny was to bo burned ! Home nunter or traveler would find my body charred or blackened; und others, alter a time, would puss my hones bleaching in Ihe sun. I shuddered ; my eyes felt tint t my throat dry, and I imagined that I felt ihe flames creeping oyer ma. If had been a danger tltnt 1 emild have battled with or if I could havo seen any chance fir escape depend- ng upon my own exertions, it would have bcondii-erent: but now all I could do was to stand and stare tho most dreadful of all deaths in the face. You must remember that alt these ideas and rcflac tions run through my mind in the shortest appreciable Bpaco or time; lor you must know that the sudden prospects ot great danger, trom winch there is uo np parent mode of escape, impart to tho brain a horrible faculty of thought of which the mind at ease cnu form no possible conception. ' I closed my eyes in prayer, nnd commended my soul to God; hut it was impossible for me to close my eyes ngninat the one groat aud absorbing idea in my mind that of being burnt up like n vile reptile that crawls in the weeds. Mv lips unclosed and as they did so, my eyes rested upon my trusty rifle; it was the first time Iliad ihmight id it, lor the distance was great between me and the enemy ; but now it looked like nn old friend, the only ono that had the power to save me. ' I embraced llie thought that the sight of my rifle called up a species of joy which is nearly overpowered by an antagonizing feeling. Ono chance still remained a small chance it was true, but still a chance; and despair cannot paralyze and subdue tho heart, white even ono taint hopo re mains. I luted the instrument upon whicu hung my destiny. As toy glance ran over the intervening dis tance, 1 toll bow desperate inuoea was my prospect oi life, for an hundred good marksmen might try their skill in vain in aiming nt an object so far off. Then 1 1 remembered Ihat my weapon was of uncommon calibre nnd weight, and would throw a ball further than I any I had ever seen. I recollected also that I had loaded tt that very day witn uncommon care, and lor long snot. ' The Indian moved the torch, and was about to np-1 ply it to the combuslibte material ; there was no time to lose, llie rule came lo my shoulder quick and hrm, and I braced up my nerves for a steady aim with a strnttg ctfort of the will. I looked through tho ' double sights,' and the muzzle covered ins itidians bead. My heart seemed to stop heating, held in tho grasp of that terriblo suspense. It was but an instant then tho rifle sent an ounco and a half of lead on its mission, with a crack that was unusually loud and sharp, aud a recoil which threw me back a few paces. Tho smoke curled away, but I dared not look. I passed my hand slowly across my forehead, tor my brain was throbbing painfully. Every moment I expected to be greeted by a dense smoke from the burning prairie, and to hear Ihe hissing of Ihe burning flame; but nothing of the kind occurred, and X ven tured to look towards the spot where the savage had stood wilh his torch ; 1 took courage, reloaded my riite, ami nasiity wanted Towards mo place. ' I reached it the Indian lay upon his back the brand, half extinguished, beside him ; an ounce and a half of lead had passed through his head. I sank own overpowered wim gratitude, and tbo various emotions which such an incident was calculated to inspire. This was tho greatest shot I evor made, and probably shall never equal it again. Can you wuuder that I am attached to tho rifle t' ' Not at all !' said the Captain earnestly. 1 I should never part with it, if it was mi no.' KNICKERBOCKER GOSSIP.

Tkxas, December, 1C52, Gkntlf.men : A little island of wood, in a rolling sea of prairie, which extends as far as the eye can reach, is our post. It is six hundred miles from civilization, and surrounded by swarms of Indians, who are hostile when they darn, treacherous always, beggars, j when they caunot steal, thievoswlien tuey cannot beg. In such circumstances, and wilh a force of less than five hundred men, the discipline at our post is pretty strict as strict as it would be in tune of war. Thu quar ters are arranged in the form of a parallellogram, one hundred and twenty-five yards by eighty. In the centre is parade ground, upon which the trees have been left standing, and on one side are five gardens, uf live acres each, where we raise our cabbage. The houses are made of poles and mud, und roofed with sod, as I mentioned in a former letter. All uf them are kept well whitewashed; so 1 lint from a distance our post shows picturesquely enough nmong tho green trues, with the star splangled banner Haunting gayly above it, from its tall staff. Close at hand our post would have a sorry aspect to most of thn readers uf the Home Journal; but lo us it is homo aud safety, in the midst of a wilderness. Our post is not defended by wall or ditch, but by a line of sentinels only, who lake their places with tho certain knowledge, Ihat negligence nn their part would be death to them, nud peril to us. I will describe to you the daily routine The first man whom duty summons from his "bunk" in tho morning, is ihe drum-major, who, nt a quarter to five, calls up our six drummers nnd six filers. At five, these twelve artists strike up tho hideous reveille, and keep it up for fifteen minutes; when all the men are required to be drawn up in companies, each com. pany before its own quarters. The roll is rapidly call ed, absentees aro reported, and then tho men are dis missed. 1 ill seven they nro employed in polishing their accoutrements, nnd preparing their tools f.ir the day's work. In the meantime, howovor, there are two drums, one for tno sick in go to tlie hospital, and tho other for tho police party to make a tour of the post, to sweep up and remove all cll- nsive accumulations. Two or threo men from each company are cooking the breakfast. At seven a welcome roll nf the drum salutes the hungry soldiers, who " fall iu " with aiscmy. tlie roil is again called, and each man, on the sergeant calls his name, goes to tho cook and re ceives a pound nnd a quarter of salt pork, a pound and a quarter of sea-biscuit, and a can of coffee. He (hen retires and consumes these viands where and how ho chooses. Thesamedrum summons the o flic era tutheir morning meal, because they are obliged to he in readiness, soon after, to accompany tho men to their several places ol labor. I he bachelors devour in concert, but the married officer breakfasts with his family. Officers and men fire about alike, unless they have been lucky enough to shoot a few birds or other serviceable game. Breakfast over, guard mounting, which is the prin cipal military event ot irio day, occurs. 1 he old guard, wnicn nas neen on duty tor twenty four hours, is " ro lieved," and is exempt from labor till the next dav. The indefatigable drum then summons all the rest of iho garrison to the parado ground, in workimr dress and partieafnftwelvoor fourteen men enchxommanded by an officer,) nro detailed f ir labor. To ono party is assigned the duty of chopping wood ; another goes to mo gardens; auoiner is required to cut poles lor now houses; another issettn repairing or building; another to cutting sods irom llio praino; another to carrying water irom iue spring. Occasionally, a hunting party is formed, and lesafriqueuily, a party for reconnoitring. Sometimes they are obliged to go several miles from tho post, in search of wood or game ; but whether tuey go ten yards or ten miles, every man Is armed, and has his loaded musket at all times within a few paces, Wlnlo the men are at work, the o Hi cor amuses himself with his riflu or a book. Every one carries his dinner wilh him, and the " out-parties" do not re turn to their pust tdl four o'clock, when tho work nf the dny is done; the "in parties." however, work till five. The dinner hour for those who retnnin at the post is ouo, when all are allowed an hour to regale themselves upon salt pork, bean sounand hard btsc which they consume with a gusto that nn alderman might envy. At sundown tho drum beats ihe "retreat." Tho men merely "fall in," without arms, Htten to iho cnll ing of the roll, nnd then take their supper of pork uml biscuit, man by man, as at breikfni. After supper, Bport is usually tho order of the day. The men run races, play ball, pitch quol s, rend, write letters, chat with the Indians, (who aro always loitering about), and do whatever else they may fancy, so that it is nm contrary to tho rules of the p ist, aud the regulations ot the service. The officers visit one another's quarters pay their respects to tho ladies, or indulge in some kind of active game. At half past nine ihe tattoo sounds; tho men ouco morn " fall in," the mil is again cnllrd, and then to bed. At ten o'clock, ihreo taps nf mo mucti beiten dram is the signal ihat nti lights must bo extinguished, nud every man in his berili. Then silence and darkness reign at our post, except when the vnlce nf the sentinel is henrd to proclaim that it is half-past semethimg o'clock, and nil's well. On Sundays, of course, the routine is d fferetit. Then the men aresoMlers ngain. and work is forgotten, After breakfast thero is a lull dress parade, at which every man is inspected, and iho regiment is, in all points, as brilliant in appearance ns it used to be nu Governor'slslniid in New York harbor Divineservico Is performed at half past ten, nfier which there is no more duty till oven ing parade. Such, Mensm. Kditors, is our liieat flits remote place. It would be a most tedious existenoo, if all wero not kept uctively employed from one week's end to tho other. As it is, we i sometimes have tho heartache, and such n lonuirtir for home and friends as cannot be expressed. Thrown 'upon our own resources, we study in every way to be tolon the best terms with each other, and to share wilh I ... . - .

A letter dated Molbourno, Nov. 12. published in Dicken'a Household Words, gives the following glowing picture of the condition of tho newly arrived emigrants on their first landing in Australia. The Buffering depicted in this account is incidental lo the large immigration, and to the unsottled condition of the country : " Comfort is unknown here that Is, in tho town ; although a house and garden in tlio bush is a very dif-fereut thing. At present all tho varieties of the English climate, and in tar greater severity especially with regard to floods of rain, aud dense clouds of hot, blinding dust rage in the golden land. There are thousands of persons, many of them women and chil dren, daily landing at the wharf, who cannot either for love or money got, places wherein to lay their heads. Imngine a gloomy day (of which there are many at the present season), tho rain descending in torrents, and tho unpaved streets a morass; the river steamers running up nud down tho Yarra between the town and Hobson's Bay (where the shipping are anchored), all day long, to convey at ench trip hundreds of newly arrived emigrants. The passengers aro landed, bag and baggage, on the wharf, among hundreds of their fellow sufferers, nnd are left ruthlessly to their fate. The men of the different parlies disperse about tbo town in quest of lodgings; the women sent thomaelves upon their piled up baggage, gathering their wondering children around them, and await the husband's or brother's return with hope and confidence. Husbands, lauiers aim Drotners do return, but alter long absence, with wearied feet. Hushed faces, and sinking hearts. Thoy havo made a tour of the town, and there is no lodging lo be had they aro absolutely houseless. Besides this, etory articlo of consumption is enormously dear store-room for luggage (if found at all), is ruinous. Agaiu men start wildly on the some errand, and ngain return unsuccessful. I have seen tears rolling down more than ono manly fellow's face, as he has stood contemplating his wife and children reduced to such hard necessities; and it is painful to witness the stunned look of despair, or the agony of grief and tears with which the English women receive ihe cruel intelligence, ami clasp with streaming eyes their homo-less little ones to their heart. Tho feverish bustle and excitement at the wharf are increased by a novel kind of sale or mnrket, which is incessantly being hold, end which, in itself, is also a disagreeable aud ominous 'sign of the times.' The wares ihus sold in the open air consist of the household furniture, the little lots of goods brought out as speculations, nr often the personal 'kit' only of many of Iheso people, who, unable to find storago for their things, except ut a rent which would in a few days or weeks swallow up their wholo intrinsic value, are compelled to sacrifice their property for auything that it will fetch. In short, there is a disagreeable effect about this first landing a kind of daruper thrown upon tho hopes nud proBpecis a change in the bright ideaB originally formed a demolition of tho visionary castles built since leaving Europe, which (or I am much mistaken in tho expression of the human countenance) very few fail to fuel on touching the shore." INFANTS' BIGHTS. We, tho ir-diters members of the Infant Society, being fully determined nu onrown account, and in behalf ol tho rising generation, cry aloud for reform in the system of management to which we are subjected, both parental aud professional, which is often un civil and un-tnodical. Therefore, in consideration of the fact ihat we are forcibly brought into this existence without being consoled even in regard to our feelings, tastes or wishes, do wo set forth, herein, what we claim to be our 'rights,' nnd resolve, that unless they shall be granted to us, it will hereafter be useless to cry peace, pence, for there shall bo no peace. First. We claim the right to draw from that fountain which Nature has provided for our sustennnce, and which is conceded to bo the only source from which we can derive the materials for a vigorous growth. The too common practice of cutting off our supplies from this sourco to avoid the neccessity of attendance on our wants, wo regard as unworthy a Uhristtau mother, nnd inhuman. Second. We earnestly protest against the partiality exhibited by our mothers in nursing tap dogs, and making parlor companions of them, and taking them out riding nu pleasant days, while we are turned over to be nursed by Bridget, and kept week after week con- lined to the bouse, without even an airing. Third. We claim as our right a place in ihe paren tal bed, and deem it a very poor excuse for tuck ing us away with the muse, that our mother comes home from parties und the opera late at night, which would be likely to disturb us if we occupied her room. Fourth. We are opposed to medicine, which would seldom bo required if we wero properly nursed by our motners, ana otherwise cared 1 r, and we have no dis- , position to take it as a substitute, and especially do wo raise our voices against the practice of many mines, who secretty keep a bottle of paregoric, or Godfrey'! cordial, and force down our throats a dose in the eve ning, so tint we cannot disturb them in the night. Fifth. Wo appeal most feelingly against Ihe prac tice, often for fashion's sake, of dipping ua into cold water every morning, ana sometimes morning and night. It gives an unnecessary shock to our sensibilities, which may bo avoided by substituting tho tepid ipnnge, wiucu we ore wining to submit to, so tar as clenuunefs requires. Sixth. While we aro often deprived of our natural nourishment, wo nre over fed with unwholesome food tiy way of compensation. With Ihis practice wo become disgusted, nnd throw up, whirh ihe nursn Fee ma toconsidt-r an indication for something more to fill the vacant space, and thus we aro stuffed from day to day, which excites not only our siomacbs but our tempers, and we get ihe credit of being very 'spunky.' These, and many other abuses to which we are sub- jecto i, deprive us of iho ability to crow in henllh aud strength, as unbne intended we should; and, consequently, about half of us get sickly and die before we aro out enough to tnke cure ot ourselves, believing that of all rights, the rights of infants are first in importance, wo appeal to universal manhood for reform in ihis matter, by establishing fur ns a better system of maternal government ; and that we may he elevated to a proper position in the social scalo, and no longer be deemed unwelcome burthens to bo ashamed of. Esnlapian. A Bit or Romance. About six years n go, a Dr II, having become involved in debt, left his home and wife in another State for Texas, for the purpose of improving hi fortunes in a place where he would bo free from iho demands ol clamorous creditors. In tho course of time ho went with ihe army to Mexico, and finally wended his way to California, After residing i here same time, ho met a young man from the place of his furmer residence, whom, however, he did not know, and inquired of him if he knew his wife, whom be described, without, however, telling him the relation he bore to her. The young man replied that Mrs. H was his sister, and tho last he heard of her she was in St. Louis, After accumulating a competence, Dr. H ... left for St. Louis, for tbo purpose id seeking his wife, who had long since given him up as dead. In St. Louis he learned that she had left that place some time previously, and was believed to be in New Albany. He came hither, nnd upon inquiry Irarned that alio also believed her brother to be dead, not having heard from him for many years. Dr. H went to iho house where he understood his wife wns living, but found that she had left there a few days before. He impiired about her general conduct aud domeanor, and found that it had alwaya been unexceptionable. She spoke but little of her hua-hand, but told everyone that she considered him dead. Tho lady of whom Dr. H was making inquiries, discovered that he was the long lost husband, and ottered to accompany him to ihe house where his wifo wns sewing. Upou arriving there, she said to her ''Mrs. 1 1 - .hero is a gentleman who saw your brother In California." She appeared astonished looked at the visitor, but apparently did not recognize him. He brushed back his hair, and said quickly, " F.lizn, don't you know me f " Mrs. H immediately swooned nwny, and fell nn the floor. In the B-ime moment a husband and brother supposed to be dead were restored to her. Dr. H , as we havo said, hns returned wilh a competence, nnd the supposed widow, it is presumed, will no longer sow for a livelihood. The nbove statement, we are assured, is strictly correct. Here ia a scene in ro il life eipial in strangeness to nny to which romance ever gave birth. New Albany (la ) Letlgcr. Imitation or a Cow. Mr. James Boswell, the friend and biographer of Dr. Johnson, when a youth, went lo Ihn pit of Covetil Garden Theatre, in company with Dr. Bl ur, and in n frolic, imitated the lowing nl a enw, nnd the universal cry iu ihn galleries wns, "En-core tho cow! encoie iho cow!"
